About this project

Darkest Peru

A classic Lovecraftian horror story set in 1920’s Peru. After a bad dream, Miss Leonore Christian
returns from safari to find her beloved brother has disappeared deep in the
wilds of Peru. She leads an expedition into the darkest depths of the Peruvian
landscape only to uncover such dreadful horrors as to drive the most stable
minds to insanity.

The
story follows big game hunter Leonore Christian as she searches the deadliest
regions of Peru,
looking for her brother’s lost expedition. Thick with drama, suspense, danger
and romance, it is a story about human nature and the evils of society in the
1920’s.

Darkest Peru is already finished and will be available as an e-book within
2 weeks of the conclusion of this Kickstarter.

Reserving the next two books includes the purchase of the e-books and receiving the e-books a month before their official publication! This is only available through this Kickstarter!

The adventure continues as Miss Leonore Christian returns with a vengeance to
